Storing Your Expressed Breast Milk - Avent ISIS iQ DUO Mode D'emploi

Storing Your Expressed Breast Milk

With AVENT, you never have to transfer milk
between containers because you pump,
store and feed with the same base.
By using the AVENT Natural Feeding System, you
preserve valuable nutrients that can get lost if
breast milk is transferred.

Guidelines for Storing Expressed Breast Milk
Refrigerate breast milk immediately. Refrigerate for up to 48 hours in the back of the
°
refrigerator, not in the door.
Freeze for up to 3 months, or 6 months in a zero-degree freezer.
°
Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator, thawed in warm water
°
or heated on the lowest setting of a bottle warmer or baby food warmer.
NEVER refreeze breast milk.
°
If you express small amounts of milk throughout the day, you can top up the milk
°
container by keeping it in the refrigerator and adding to it. Make sure the milk is used
within 48 hours of the first expression, or store it in the freezer.
DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
°
Note: Only milk collected with a clean, sanitized pump should be stored to be fed to your baby. Sanitize
Breast Milk Storage Containers before use or express milk directly into VIA
Never immerse a frozen bottle or liner in boiling water as this may cause it
to crack/split.
Transporting Expressed Breast Milk
Please refer to Tote Bag Instructions for complete
°
directions on how to store and transport breast
milk using the Thinsulate ™ carriers.
When removed from the freezer, four AVENT Gel
°
Packs will keep one 4 oz or one 9 oz container of
freshly expressed breast milk sufficiently chilled
inside a Thinsulate carrier and insulated bag for up
to 6 hours. Ensure that both the storage containers
and carriers are placed upright in the bag to prevent
leaking. Also make sure that the Thinsulate carriers
are completely zipped.
Be sure to keep the gel packs frozen until they
°
are ready to use and refrigerate milk immediately
after removing it from the insulated bags.
In hot climates, avoid storing Thinsulatecarriers or
°
the travel bag containing expressed milk in a car,
office, cabinet etc. Milk must be sufficiently chilled
to avoid spoilage.
